Advice: DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE. Although it is true that the taxpayers who requested an extension have until October 17, 2022 to gather their documentation and present it to the authorities, the best thing you can do is get everything done ahead of time.

“If a taxpayer has all the information needed to file an accurate return, they can file electronically at any time before the October deadline and avoid the last minute rush,“ recommends the IRS on its official website.

The IRS has also offered taxpayers a couple of tips when filing their tax return that will make it quicker to process their returns and receive any refunds.

The agency recommends that individuals or families who have not yet filed their 2021 tax return do it electronically and select direct deposit for their refund. Today, the IRS is able to process electronic returns much faster, and money sent by direct deposit reaches people almost immediately, unlike a check that must travel through mail.
